If it's of any use, I've posted a link to a picture of a home made hydraulic press I used to push the wishbone bushes out.

The 1/4 plate, 100mm square box section was £10, the M24 studding, nuts and washers were £15 and the 4-tonne bottle jack was £15 from Halfords.

Works a treat. One bush was solid and went like a shotgun as it released.

You will need a hole drill to form the holes in the box section. I also drilled an tapped the base of the bottle jack and bolted it to the box section to stop it slipping.

There you go. Better to see how you describe things.
